The Buffalo Bills earned a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs and kept their playoff hopes alive. However, all of the attention is on Patrick Mahomes. After failing to convert a fourth down play, the star quarterback appeared to erupt on the referees.
It was the last chance the Chiefs had to keep the drive alive. Mahomes threw a ball for a touchdown. However, it appeared that a wide receiver was lined up offside. Ultimately, Kansas City fell short and turned the ball over on downs. Shortly after, the camera cuts to Mahomes on the sideline going ballistic. So much so, that his teammates had to hold him back.
Patrick Mahomes felt that the referees wrongly called an offsides penalty on the Chiefs, confirmed by Pro Football Talk. The flag took away a touchdown that would have given Kansas City the lead late over the Bills.
“Per the Chiefs, QB Patrick Mahomes was upset after the game about the offside call that wiped out the Kadarius Toney TD. Mahomes believed Toney was not offside.”
It’s rare to see Mahomes lose his cool like that. But considering the Chiefs have lost three of their last four games, he was obviously not happy with the refs in the final seconds of the game. Especially considering the play would’ve been the highlight of the season had it counted.
